Default 4x4 rt and left pulling on launch

for all those running 4x4 trucks and launching on 4x4 how do u keep ur truck from jerking rt and left on launch.. got two cousins one on a 6.0 3200 stall and one on a 414 stroker also on a 3200 stall.. and im on a 5.3 3200 stall.. mine doesnt do it now idk if its because im lower all around or because its a 5.3 but im assuming it will on my 3600 stall. but my cousins trucks jerk hard rt then left when they launch. what can be done to help this? im assuming its due to poor traction in the front will a locker help? will caltracs in the back help? any thing will help thanks..

your obviously lifting that tire, i dont personally know what the 4x4 guys are using but u need to strap the front suspension where you have no weight transfering if this makes any sense, mabe a 4wd guy will chime in but this is the basic principle

cognito braces? never heard from them i will definitely look them up... is this caused by the weight transferred to the back making the front lift like Swerve7rpm2000 said?

I got the bolts and washers from bolt depot dot com. And you can do a google search for the clevis and straps. Lots of shops sell them. If you need any help with them feel free to pm me.

My friend had custom machined tierods built for him, when they leave in four wheel drive the wheels wanna turn in towards each other, which causes the jerking and will eventually snap your tie rods. If youve ever read a diesel power magazine and heard of jeremiah montgomery or bg diesel performance thats who it is.
